travelling they do one never hears OF

casualties that give the accident insurance

The first thing that strikes the English
visitor to the French ''Ministere de Ia
Guerre' is the contrast it presents to the
English war Office. The latter is a little
squat and dirty double house dozen yards
back from Pail Mall, resembling in its exec
rior, both in condition and construction,
a huge rabbit warren. The former Is
a magnificent new stone building, with
broad flights of marble steps, filed with
frescoes and paintings, scarlet and gilt
furniture, and suites of imposing reception
rooms leading one into the other through
large mahogany folding doors. Into the
last Of these suites I was shown to await
the now famous French minister.
The moment he entered the room one
saw clearly how mistaken is the common
conception of his personality. He is a
short man, rather stoutly built, with
brown hair, brown beard, rather red
face; above all things quiet looking al
most to commonplacenesS. His mother
was an EngHshwoman, his aunt Is living
at Lewes, and except for the slight point
at his beard he himself would be taken
for an Englishman anywhere. He wore
the ordinary French civilians dress Of
black frock coat and trousers, with only
the single red spot in his buttonhole.
This, by the way, was also the dress Of
half a dozen generals, who seemed to per-
form sort of special duty by being
present about the ''ministere." In man
ners Gen. Boulanger is not more striking
than in appearance. He speaks slowly,
like most soldiers, but without much
gesture, and without much force either Of
voice or language Mall Gazette.

Why do so many Intelligent persons stub
bornly refuse TO take any kind Of medicine
for slight illness, when first taken sick, and
when the greatest benefit may be derived
from plain simple treatment. Nearly always
the first act OF physician when called, is to
prescribe remedies TO move the bowels, TO
regulate the liver, open the secretions and
aid nature. Why do not intelligent persons
take the same plain treatment in time them
selves, try it and take St. Patrick's pills, they
are guaranteed to give satisfaction. They
